    Not being a particle physicist, I will have to watch this over a good few times before I'm confident to make comment without feeling realy dumb. 😂 I enjoyed it very much for my own sake and you have given me a couple of ladies to research for my 8 yr old granddaugther who wants to be a scientist. 👍

    I don't think I have mentioned this before but thanks for speaking in a rhythm and a tempo relatively moderate with some dynamics. You earn every dime they are paying you to narrate this series. Everything seems to be presented these days at 100mph for fear of losing the viewers with no attention span. Excellent work my friend.

    “The fundamental laws and the existence of matter truly arise from cracks in perfection.”

    Such beautiful words for a philosophy of everything.
  • @Nimbulus85
    It's so hard to put into words not only the massively complicated (and in some cases literally inconceivable!) subject matter that you do in such an accessible way, but that you ALSO do so in a manner that consistently serves to inspire hope for humankind and gratitude for lessons we've learned--even those with high cost. Thank you.
  • @Erick-ev5zt
    Love how you tell the history of the universe. We are like a child listening to our father telling us good stories before we go to sleep.
  • I think “efficiency”, not “laziness”, is the universal way. ❤
  • @mickeyb492
    Watching these videos has become a daily habit. Learning more and more about the universe, and physics in an exciting way. Thanks so much for bringing these to us.
  • “Nature is lazy” is my fav quote from this video and such a succinct way to explain symmetry
  • @edwardgaliber
    So excited, we get another phenomenal science video. These videos are like a lullabies for adults who crave knowledge of the universe. Thank you so much for doing these!
  • @tenforce
    I'm amazed about how many of the grand topics in cosmology and particle physics one can crank into a 50 minute video, props for that! It's an amazing summary of all the basics that were relevant for my PhD in the field.
  • @skabbymuff111
    Words can barely describe how incredible your videos are. I am so glad I found this channel.
  • @ArielTavori
    When a video like this gets over 100k views in a few days, it's one of the few reminders I have that there are actually large numbers of curious, intelligent people in the world who enjoy learning and growing.

    Everybody I know 'believes' things, and seems to find 'reason' distasteful, if not downright offensive.

    So to my fellow viewers, thanks for existing, i guess... Stay curious! 🙏
  • @MarxMin
    You make the absolute best videos on YouTube for this subject hands down! Your work is very appreciated and I can't get enough of your videos! Keep it up you have many fans!
  • This is what the internet should be, a modern day Library of Alexandria, full of all the fascination and creativity nature holds for us to explore. I have faith we will ultimately rise to understand how important it is for humans to have an open knowledge source accessible to everyone without tracking, surveillance or ads...or any ulterior motive.
  • I recently bought my first house and played all your videos while I painted the rooms and did some minor repair over the course of two months before fully moving in. Your videos are the best and are now forever part of my memory of my new home. I was born and raised in Hawaii but moved away. This video is so fitting for me to finally have made a comment with a Hawaiian name given to the super cluster. Thank you.
  • @natelincoln
    My good sir, thank you for putting out Emmy’s name. If only more scientists or brainy nerds would give her and other unknown men and women of our collective understanding of how “this” all works. Thank you again!!
  • @sv.foamball
    The best current physics prose by far, professionally narrated and presented. Top quality stuff!
  • @GM-cf6jv
    I have watched most of these videos in total fascination and awe of the intellects that are unraveling these mysteries. I don’t understand alot of this one but the graphics are incredibly fun to watch. At 70 years old I don’t have alot more time to see what answers new science reveals. What a long strange trip its been!
  • @Arsenic71
    Your videos are really great, extremely educational AND entertaining. Presented in a very pleasant narrative and voice, paired with great visuals. One of my favourite YT channels, thank you very much for your work and for sharing it with us.
  • The spin parity of neutrinos has got to be one of the wildest properties of the universe (thus far) So many brilliant minds over the centuries have had their work and equations funneled down into a single drop to try to get us to the next stage of discovery. Truly amazing.
